More On: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3

Fans of the anime One Piece will soon be getting the next installment in the One Piece: Pirate Warriors series...well, that is if you call next summer soon.  Bandai Namco has announced that One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 will be hitting the PS3, PS4, PS Vita, and Steam in the summer of 2015.  One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 is the latest collaboration with Bandai Namco and Koei Tecmo that will see One Piece take the Dynasty Warriors route of action games.  Ever since first picking up Warriors Orochi 2 a few years ago on the cheap and playing Hyrule Warriors earlier this year, I can see myself picking this one up when it hits Steam.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 will go through the original storyline of the anime starting from Fushia Village where Luffy first departs on his quest to sail to the Grand Line in his attempt to become King of the Pirates.  As long as it's not as drawn out as One Piece: Romancing Dawn's story scenes, I can really get into that.
